Feeling a bit uneasy about the result.
The shape is much, much better, my nostrils look much more even, my nose looks more natural from the front and the sides, but I feel the height of the tip and upper part of the bridge is still a bit too tall.

I will update with pictures on the 3 month post-op mark.

Mr. Ion told me it is normal to have significant swelling at this point in time.
Guess I'll just have to be patient, something I am not very good at.

I was very swollen for the first 2 months. Still having swelling at five months but much less. The first month I looked like a freak of nature. You have a long way to go with swelling. Best wishes in your recovery! Looking forward to seeing the pics at the 3 month mark!

Sorry if you are having a bit of a hard time, I think adjusting to physical changes is always hard.
Can I ask what you by the height of your tip? Do you mean it sticks too far out from your face to you or you feel it's too lifted? From your profile things look great to me.

Remember, you're only into a month of healing. It takes at least 12-18 months to heal, especially the bridge and tip. Patience is a virtue. Pulling for you.

I had my last appointment with Mr. ion today. It went well. I am happy with it. I felt he answered all my questions to my satisfaction. We took some photographies of my nose as well. I was givende an extended course of antibiotics, nasal spray and some nasal rinse. Mr. Ion told me my entire nose is still swollen, obviously, but I had to ask still. I asked him about smoking, and he advised me to wait another two months time, because of the nicotine and the carbonmonoxide in it. It blows, but I am not going to risk it interferring with my healing. But he allowed me drinking alcohol. I have taken two photos of my current side profile. I like it. An improvement, to say the least. The only thing I don't like very much is the size of the tip, but that I think is due to swelling. I will just have to be patient. Pre-surgery I used to worry a hell of a lot about how my nose looked out in public, something which made me stand out to other people, because I was trying to hide my nose in one way or another. Today I went out for a walk and I haven't felt that relaxed in a long time. I might have a follow-up appointment in 6 weeks time with Mr. Ion. My nose looks more symmetrical. It looks better from the front and the sides.

Your profile looks perfect, what a huge improvement! Congrats!
I know it's early to tell, but how do you like your frontal so far?
Maybe this would be a good time to give up smoking altogether;)

Thank you! I am quite pleased with the frontal. It looks much more normal on my face and the nostrils more like they used to be. Ain't gonna give up smoking. No way! :P

I forgot to say that the nurses and staff at Weymouth hospital were very helpful and amicable. Mr. Ion, I think, has a room (maybe more) assigned for his patients to use when there. The room was very nice and professional lokking, with a large bathroom and an electronically adjustable bed.

The rib graft site is much better now. Easier to move around and not so difficult to get out of bed on my own in the morning. 5 cm under my nipple, 4cm incision.
